Naruto
Uzumaki Naruto was in a rage unlike any he'd been even close to in years. The blond growled demonically, Kurama's voice now very apparent in his voice. He only paused for another minute to again be so stunned that it caused speechlessness.
"Heh. She was so fragile. Really. Her bones broke far too easily. Her scream is wonderful though, I plan on keeping her for quite awhile. I'll get to watch her struggle whenever I wish. But the best part?"Kabuto's wicked smile grew by the minute and he leaned closer to the boy's ear as if his words were secret. "If you kiss her hard enough, her lips become beautifully swollen."
Naruto's eyes were wider than should be possible. For a moment, his rage turned into confusion, but that did not last long.
The young man roared, the effects of Kurama taking over even more than already. "You sick bastard!" he growled, about to hit him with his now paw like hand. Too late. The silver haired man evaded his attack and managed to get out of his hold.
True, Naruto dodged the kunai attack, but even if he had not, the intense chakra rolling off of him would have probably burned both the kunai and the young man's hand to a pretty bad degree. Spinning around, the blond boy got on all fours, teeth bared and ready to attack. "Give her back...Give Sakura chan back!" Just then, a voice from behind deterred the ninetails jinchuriki. The chakra signature was very familiar, too familiar to miss. "Sasuke.." he muttered, turning his attention to his old friend momentarily.
"Hmph. Naruto.." the raven said with a smirk before looking at Kabuto rather annoyed. "Taking credit for my actions, ne?" he said, although naruto didn't understand what he was talking about, he didn't care.
The reason he did not care was because in that moment, he sensed his chakra signature. Wide eyed, the Uchiha turned towards the entrance of the cave. Soon, his now blood red eyes held the sharingan and he ran off, hurriedly. "Itachi..." he muttered, picking up speed as the battle behind him no longer mattered. It was as if there was no one else around because now he was focused on him. Itachi, his older brother whom he'd sworn to kill.
Sasuke
I can sense him. He's close...Is he really dumb enough to fall for Orochimaru's trap? Tch, it doesn't matter. All that matters is my revenge...I've done as you said, nii san...I've grown stronger...I no longer lack hatred...I'll kill you where you stand and restore the honor of the Uchiha name... His thoughts had nearly clouded his judgement several times before, but not this time. Uchiha Sasuke was very much prepared to fight his older brother, who happened to be conveniently located right at the entrance of the cave. When Sasuke's eyes met his, there was a momentary lapse of silence. All the younger brother did was draw his sword and narrow his eyes in obvious anger. "Itachi..." he growled, stepping closer and completely ignoring Kisame as if he did not even exist. This is it. I'll kill you today, brother...I'll avenge the Uchiha name and have you begging for death at my feet...This is my path, the path of an avenger....
Naruto
"Matte, Sasuke!" Naruto called after his former friend and teammate, but as soon as he was out of reach and hearing distance, the blond remembered his current target. You...You hurt Sakura chan...You...violated my friend...I'll...I'll kill you! The young man wasted no time. "Sakura chan, I don't want you to watch this!" he called to the girl behind the door who was still pleading with him to just leave. Her words could not reach him, not as he was now. "You...You hurt...Sakura chan...How dare you even touch her!" Enraged almost all over again, Naruto stood up on two legs and made quick hand signs. Soon, a shadow clone was next to him and forming a rasengan in his clawed hand. "I'll kill you, rotten bastard! Rasengan!".
Sakura
[ All I remember thinking was how I needed to get Naruto to leave. Nothing I said or did was working. All of my words fell on deaf ears. I may as well have been talking to a wall because that's certainly what it felt like. Naruto was so damn stubborn, still is. The part that upset me the most was that I was completely and utterly useless. My limbs were still half broken, as I'd only managed to heal them to the point of the pain subsiding for small periods of time, and I was stuck behind that damn door! I felt like I was the same Sakura as at the Chuunin Exams in those moments. I felt weak. I felt helpless. I felt like my best friend was going to get hurt because I had been foolish and acted rashly. I'm glad he's alright now, demo it was really scary to literally be watching my friend nearly die... ].
"Yamate, Naruto kun!" Sakura yelled. Her pleading was getting raspier because she was practically losing her voice from how much she was trying to convince him to leave. Why won't he listen to me?! Dammit, Naruto, I don't want you to die! Of course she'd known that she had been there for a reason, but she hadn't expected it to be luring Naruto in. What need do they have of the ninetails..? she wondered, hitting the door with her good fist and only getting a splinter in return. It was then that the young woman was snapped out of her thoughts. She heard Kabuto's words to Naruto and it made her angry. He was messing with Naruto by using what Sasuke had done. That teme! she practically roared in her thoughts, trying to think of some way to calm her animalistic friend. "Naruto kun, he's lying! Sasuke kun did those things to me, not him! Don't let him get in your head, baka! Focus!" She knew her pleas were useless, but she just had to keep trying. This boy was important to her. If he died, especially with her having to watch, she would never recover.
The sight of Sasuke sent the kunoichi away from the door as she crawled back so as not to be seen, but it didn't seem to matter as he took off rather quickly. What is that chakra...? she thought, spiraling from her dizzy state, her hoarse voice, and the powerful chakra that she felt nearby. Sasuke kun would only go after one person with that much determination and purpose...It must be his brother...but why would he be here..? What business does the Akatsuki have here...? And then it hit her like that cave wall had when she first arrived. Are they using Naruto to get at the Akatsuki?.
Kabuto
"You sick bastard!"
Heh. I haven't been so kindly praised in such a long time. This is refreshing he thought as he escaped the boy's hold.
"Give her back...Give Sakura chan back!"
It was rather amusing. Did he really think that if he yelled and demanded Sakura back, Kabuto would simply return her? He didn't even bother saying please. It wouldn't be that easy to save his precious friend.
All of a sudden, a sinister chakra radiated nearby in the darkness of the shadows. It was easily recognizable as the one person he truly despised. The Uchiha stepped out from the shadows, staring down the silver haired male and only giving a glance and small, indifferent acknowledgement to his former friend. His true goal was to annoy Kabuto. It didn't seem to even matter than Naruto was in the room, raging and rampaging. "Taking credit for my actions, ne?"
"Heh. Alls fair in love and war. And this is war."
As soon as they sensed Itachi's presence, the younger Uchiha ran in his direction. He could not bother himself with trivial matters when he could be killing his brother. Once that boy left, the other one seemed to remembered why he was here. More specifically, he seemed to remembered who he wanted to kill.
"You...You hurt...Sakura chan...How dare you even touch her!"
He had been too distracted over the situation with Sasuke and his brother to fully dodge what was coming next.
"I'll kill you, rotten bastard! Rasengan!"
Suddenly, he looked over at Naruto as a swirling ball of chakra was only an inch of two from his body. He had no room to fully dodge in such a small area. However, he wasn't about to die. He twisted his body to the side, but the attack still connected. The powerful Rasengan was charged with hatred and anger, and the moment it pierced his skin, he knew he had underestimated the nine tails jinjuriki. He managed to realize this even though at the moment, a tremendous, boiling pain shot in his shoulder. The force and power behind the strike pushed him several feet back, however even as his back collided with the ground, the sharp pain was nothing compared to the agony burning in his mangled shoulder.
He didn't scream. He didn't make a sound. Despite the struggle for consciousness he should have been facing, he appeared like little had happened. The only indication of pain was his tightly clenched teeth. The reason? His shoulder had already begun to heal. The heat stung deep within his body, but already the wound was closing. He had anticipated the attack and concentrated healing chakra in his shoulder, so that the damage would be reduced to minimum. Some blood dripped down his arm in a thin, crimson stream, however it was not much. He sat up, grinning.
"I thought you were going to kill me, Naruto. Or were you just talking big?" he questioned, raising his hand up defensively. It glowed an eerie blue. "You seem to be all about talk. You say you're going to save Sasuke, which clearly didn't happen. You say you're going to save Sakura, which clearly wont happen. And you say you're going to kill me, when obviously you're the one who is going to die"
He was simply provoking him so it was certain the boy would follow him outside. He then turned his head towards her door. "See you later, Sakura chan. When I'm done killing him, I'll come back. We can have lots of fun then." he assured, jumping backwards before turning around and running towards the exit. He was sure to jump from side to side as he ran, avoiding any attacks that Naruto attempted. The light at the end was becoming more visible, until eventually he was one step away from the outdoors. And the moment his foot connected with dirt, he jumped up and landed on a tree branch. Nearby, he saw Sasuke and his older brother, however he paid little attention to him. His job was to fight Naruto until Orochimaru was ready to come out of the hideout.
"So, are you going to attack me?" he questioned, smirking. His hands still glowed, ready to counter whatever came for him.
Itachi
Itachi felt the intense presence approaching far before he saw him. He was prepared.
"Kisame. I will handle this." (size12 he said simply. He then waited patiently.
Soon, he emerged. His dark, emotionless eyes connected with his brothers crimson red sharingan. He could sense the strength radiating off him, and knew he would need his kekkai genkai as well. Suddenly, the dark orbs flashed into a deep red that matched Sasuke's.
His mind wandered to that day. Most of the time, he refused to let it do so. Today, he couldn't help it. "..if you wish to kill me, then hate me, despise me… and by all means flee, cling to your wretched life"
You did so, Sasuke. And when you kill me, you will become a hero.
His brother drew his sword and he knew the battle was about to begin. "Hello, little brother"
